Majorca, 15. - 17.09.2017
The first interdisciplinary and multilanguage Unconference presented by Boot e.V.
Be part of the first Web Engineering Unconference Europe (former PHP Unconference Europe) based on the wonderful island of Majorca.
Meet great guys'n'gals, sun & fun, gripping topics without the hassle of a conference. And it's Majorca. Again! How cool is that?
This is the first Web Engineering Unconference Europe ever. Since it is an un-conference it is really in your hands what will happen.
Web engineering focuses on the methodologies, techniques, and tools that are the foundation of Web application development and which support their design, development, evolution, and evaluation. Wikipedia
The learning from PHPucEU is: No chance to keep it to PHP alone. Other technologies always slipped in. So we decided to open it up in the first place and invite all web developers, engineers, architects, DevOps, not only the ones dedicated to PHP.
Join us on the lovely Island of Majorca to talk about problems and solutions we all need.
Someone said: An unConference is all about people
and Judith Andresen, our UnConference mentor, said: An unConference makes the coffee break a principle.
We have nothing further to add.
If you want to know more, here are the details. There are two important parts:
We meet in the morning, collect contributions (talks, workshops, tutorials or discussions you can give or moderate) and interests (things you'd like to hear about, learn or check out).
All topics are presented in a few sentences and we merge topics which are similar, so it may happen that two contributions end in one session and we have great discussions.
All attendees have two votes to give feedback on what they are interested in. The sessions with the most votes win and the time table is built from them.
Then you will have a great time in the sessions.
We'll take care of the time and bring you all together for 45 minutes, so you can discuss the session you've just attended, talk about problems or ideas you have about Web Engineering, or just meet friends.
Most web technologies are Open Source. There is no point in searching the same solutions over and over again. Lets find them together, once!
Discussing, Rubberducking and Exchange are vital parts of our daily business. Lets take the next step together: Connect our communities.
Sharing stuff online on blogs or StackOverflow and such plattforms is a good thing. Have the experience in person, profit from the direct feedback.
"An unConference makes the coffee break a principle." Many and long coffee breaks help to connect and become deeply involved in conversations.
The force is with you! Decide what you want to talk and hear about. We have seen topics evolve out of nothing which became brilliant workshops.
Free your mind on our parties. Connect with your colleagues and make strangers to friends. We are on the beautiful Island of Majorca!
Still not convinced? Here are some impressions from last year.
Thanks to Ulf Wendel for the photos. See more.
We start on Saturday at 9:30 am and on Sunday at 10:00 am.
Sessions will be 45min, coffee breaks will be 30min after each session. There will also be lunch breaks with typical Majorcan food.
More to come.
The Web Engineering Unconference Europe is taking place at the conference center of the hotel Catalonia Majorica (4*) in Palma de Majorca:

The heart of WEucEU is people. This guideline is meant to support a happy, productive and safe event experience that can welcome new ideas and inspiration for all attendees. Regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack thereof). We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. These guidelines exist to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that could jeopardise the participation of any person in the project, and we outline in this document expected, as well as prohibited behavior.
The following behaviors are expected and requested of all summit participants, including attendees, speakers, and staff.
Lead by example: Each individual attending this event does so on behalf of their community. This means being considerate of how your discussions, actions and decisions will represent your community.
Be respectful: Disagreement is no excuse for poor manners. We will exercise consideration and respect in our speech and actions, and consider collaboration before conflict. Ensure all voices are heard, not just the loudest.
Watch your language: Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. This includes gestures and online discussions / back-channels (like Telegram).
Take responsibility for your words & actions: We can all make mistakes; when we do, we take responsibility for them. If someone has been harmed or offended, we listen carefully and respectfully, and work to right the wrong.
Look out for each other: Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants. Alert an event organizer / Participation Team member if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this Guideline. If something makes you feel concerned, or worried - even if you’re not sure it’s a violation, it’s better to reach out, than to ignore.
Expect and accommodate cultural and personal differences: Be mindful that for many, English is a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language, and to show patience and respect while listening to and conveying ideas. Remember that we come from many cultures and backgrounds. What is friendly in one culture may not be in another. If you’re not sure what is appropriate, just ask. Remember that due to personal, religious, or other reasons, not everyone in the group may drink alcohol or even eat certain types of food. Please respect people’s choices and preferences in this regard without question or criticism.
Ask for help: Everyone is encouraged to ask questions about this guideline.
The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable:
Violence and threat of violence: This includes incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit self-harm. This includes posting or threatening to post other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”).
Derogatory language: Hurtful or harmful language related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, age, or socio-economic status. This includes deliberately referring to someone by a gender that they clearly do not identify with. - If you’re unsure if a word is derogatory, don’t use it.
Sexual behavior: Unwelcome sexual attention. This includes, sexualized comments or jokes; inappropriate touching, groping, and unwelcomed sexual advances. Physical contact or simulated physical contact (e.g. textual messages like “hug” or “backrub”) without affirmative consent. This includes sharing or distribution of sexualized images. - Of course you can hug your best friend that you’ve known forever - the key word is consent.
Disruptive behavior: Sustained disruption of summit events, including talks and presentations will not be tolerated. This includes ‘talking over’ speakers, or influencing crowd actions that are contrary to the direction of the session. Influencing the over-consumption of alcohol, or making derogatory comments about those who abstain from alcohol.
Instigating: Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior is the same as committing that behavior yourself, and thus the same consequences apply.
Unacceptable behavior from any summit community participants, including those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
If an event participant engages in unacceptable behavior, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the event, as well as associated and future events without warning.
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify the summit conduct team as soon as possible by calling Fabian Blechschmidt at: +49 176 666 55 256.
Additionally, event organizers are available to help attendees engage with local law enforcement or to otherwise help those experiencing unacceptable behavior feel safe. In the context of in-person events, organizers will also provide escorts as desired by the person experiencing distress.
All attendees and organizers are expected to abide by this Code of Conduct in all venues — online and in-person — as well as in all one-on-one communications pertaining to community business.
This guideline and its related procedures also applies to unacceptable behavior occurring outside the scope of the WEucEU activities when such behavior has the potential to adversely affect the safety and well-being of attendees.
